Game design is a completely different beast. Can't start thinking about game mechanics or collecting information until you actually get the game up and going again.

Get people playing. Get people playing. Get people playing.

It's really that simple.

Secondly, before I begin, Gate Troll, your cover is blown. You were outed as a spy and faction warrior of my North American Zionist Institution for the Purity of Lord of the Rings Trading Card Games, or NAZI, as I like to call it for short. Please report back to base for a bullet lodged in your temple--uh, I mean a medal of commendation for your brave works on the front lines. Mr. "Captain Piett" Lurtzy, make ready to land our troops beyond their energy shield and deploy the fleet so that nothing gets off the system. You are in command now, Admiral Piett...



ket, if I felt that Gold Piece meant anything, I would give you a mountain of it, for quite possibly the most elegant and hilarious counter of an infraction of Godwin's Law that I have ever, ever, seen on the internet. 

that said, I propose the first action of a PC should be the enforcement of the Law referred to above, and the second, to recess until there's as many active, motivated, dedicated members as there are sets in the game.

Well, I will give you a Gold Piece for knowing what Godwin's Law is.

Actually you're saying the same thing I do. Just start the pc and see what happens. That's all I wanted to know.
There must be a nomenclature misunderstanding if my side of "A PC is not necessary" and your side of "Let's start a PC" are the same thing.

Oh I don't have to prove myself about bringing new or old players in the game. Allready did that. Thing is and that's your flaw, I think you've to attract people to the game and serve them. i don't think people are searching actively for it. You need to attract them.
I've been giving away rares, refractors, foils, and promos for card games since well before you opened your first pack of cards. I have worked hard to build player bases for a few different games in several areas (I have had the opportunity to live throughout the United States); some of these player groups are still active. I haven't built any players' committees and I haven't sent anyone in a players' committee's direction.

...but I felt that you deny the way of a pc.
I sincerely hope this is not a new realization.

Thank you for not seeing me as a leader... I hate to be one. When I was trying to bring it up I remember that I asked somebodyelse to lead the pc.
Well, I can't see a leader as someone who promises things, like gold pieces for example, and then doesn't deliver. That makes you an ordinary politician. It sounds like your Water Polo club worked out at a local level. Have you had any thoughts of making a local players' group before trying out a World-Wide, tournament-supporting, virtual card-creating group? Think about how the Austrian format began. Some people in a small player group just decided they wanted to do it. Now it is a fringe format that is played by some people in other areas of the world. That idea didn't begin with, "Let's make a sweet website that has awesome graphics and that funny outtake where Boromir has a bone-on and Galadriel is looking right at it and then we'll create a new format and everyone will love us."

But would you have thought that behind me? Don't think so. So you don't know me and you don't know chompers or Kendrick, what gives you the right to judge them? And yeah I would have liked to have Hawkeyespf in the pc as well. Did ask him and some others, because I know I can start up, but i can't finnish.
Luckily enough, I was born being me. That in itself gives me the right to judge whomever, and whatever, I'd like. But the actual point is that I have had the advantage of watching everyone's interactions and processes over this PC as I have not gotten heavily involved in the dissent, with a few minor exceptions, until quite recently.

I wished I could play gcc (would like to whipe your ash with my decks Wink ), but there is something I don;t quite understand and that are the commando's and my english is not good enough to get it started up. So if you could advise me then please?!
If you are being stopped by a language barrier, I would suggest checking out the Green Dragon Inn for advice. You can also check out a International Keyboard Interpretation for commands.

Maybe we should see what project PC brings us.Everyone who wants a pc can help if he or she wants. The rest can wait and see how the project develops for say about a year and then we can discuss how it worked and if it worked and if there will be a continuation or not, but I still would like the opinion of the not in need, because i think if the pc won't do that there will grow a to big a distance and that's imo not the pc's ambition.
Here's the problem with your theory. If you half-#$&*@! a Players' Committee (i.e., start without a strong leader, a solid support group, and a foundation with a full commitment to what you are doing from the playing community at large), and you fail (which, inevitably you will), then you have closed the door to a Players' Committee ever being built again. You wouldn't be able to sleep at night with that guilt, would you?

(do we have a she here actually?)
Shieldmaiden and LoveMeAndDespair are the only two I know of. Maybe you should spend a little less time worrying about a Players' Committee and a little more time worrying about meeting girls.

but I think you underestimate your influence.
I don't think I underestimate anything. I know #$&*@! well everything I say and the implications of what I say. Considering I majored in International Politics, I am quite well-versed in the politicians and political systems.

Anyways, for the second day in a row, I have spent about an hour cutting and pasting quotes here and responding. Who knows, maybe you will evoke something for tomorrow?

Glad to hear you found your cat. Losing a pet is particularly tough.

  WTF Gold Piece = just a smiley or not?  Huh? Maybe I miss the meaning here? To me it's only a compliment. Is it something else?

Thx for the support about my cat.

Under everyone's name is the "Give Gold" option. Gold Piece is a gold piece. So when you post Gold Piece, you are implying that you are giving someone a gold with the "give gold option." I was just messing with you when I called you a politician. That was a joke.

It doesn't actually matter. I think that you can only give a certain amount per hour (4 or 6, maybe?) as you have to wait between giving one person an oatmeal cookie (I swear Gold Piece look like crappy oatmeal cookies).

Either way, like I said, I was just poking fun. But now it is time for me to actually be doing work. I await the likely replies with great anticipation.

I became 4th of the netherlands (netherlands is a round middle level in the world say equal to the US) with my waterpolo pupils. I had kids in the ninetees, who are now the biggest talent of our country. Some of them allready played in the national team. But when you've got to start from the bottom then it takes about 15 to twenty years before you can think of becomming chapion of our highest class.

oh you are saying the same thing. Just start one and ee what happens. In my case I'm positive towards a pc. In your case you're not. That's the only difference IMO.

Though you're right that a pc will need a strong leader. So In the end a pc should find one. You're also right about a sollid supportgroup. But it can all be done allong the way. Just start up is my motto and we will see. And indeed a pc should not be just only a website. Sure we need to be carefull, but that's in our own hands. Right? Still it's difficult for me to explain in english what I want (my english was quite good untill my depression.. It's very hard for me nowdays) with a pc. But a pc to me is getting organized. support memebers and start up local events again. Also repair some stupid decipher mistakes like the requirement for a non existent orc culture archer by an event.If we're ready with that we can go on to expand lotr.

Well don't know when you started to give away boosters and rares away. I started organizing tournaments around 2001 and we didn't need someone else to do the building up for player area's: Eric Minkes. But when he stopped doing that I am the main person in my area to get the game going. But is this important?

I was just curious about the woman. In the netherlands we had 3 who did play tournaments. You're right about finding a girlfriend, but first I've to loose about 40 kilo of weight and get my sportsbody back. But that's my problem...  In the mean time I can worry Wink

But really I don't think we think much different, but you're not favouring a pc and I am. Still I'm very cautious about it, because first I like to see it happen.

In the mean time I gave you another  Gold Piece because of the remark about pets. To me animals are very first proirity.. to be honest even more then human. Maybe that's strange, but humanity is the strongest kind on this planet and we need to take care for the weaker kinds and our planet. But that's just my thinking and thats why my vote for goes to a polical party who stands for the animal rights (Partij voor de dieren/party for the animals). Thoud I'm social/liberal before (which is a bit more left then the democratic party in the US I think. But Heije is as historyteacher better informed in that then I am, allthough I also studied history (which I didn't finnish.. Just no finnisher).

I've missed this because my computer died the other day, but this whole thread is pretty much the most ridiculous thing I've seen on these boards. Why is everything so personal and so antagonistic? We're all sensible people here, and we all apparently believe very strongly in our opinions, and I know I'm about 7 pages too late, but it's time to just COOL IT!

I really have nothing else to add - it was a pointless argument from the onset, and I'm going to lock this thread. And I think people here know that I don't intervene on threads very often (ie. hardly at all).
